Tom is a slightly more civilized version of his friend
Huck. Both are wild, mischievous boys who disdain the civilized world's sense of rules
and decorum. Both have grown up in dysfunctional homes; Tom lives with his aunt, while
Huck's father is the town drunk who usually leaves his son on his own. They both have a
love of the river and adventure. Tom, however, is more willing to settle down, and he
seems to have an eye toward his future adulthood. Huck, meanwhile, is more comfortable
being on his own and finds a normal home life totally confining.
